The response of Chinese hamster ovary cells in which 10 per cent of the thymine of one DNA strand was substituted with bromouracil (BU) was compared with normal cells following u.v. irradiation. The bromouracil substitution resulted in a 21/2 fold enhancement of both u.v.-induced killing and mutation induction at the HGPRT locus. These BU-photoproducts do not, however, result in any further inhibition of DNA replication or inhibition of the repair of u.v.-induced DNA photoproducts identified as antibody-binding sites.
